Pre-contractual Explanations
It is important that you read these pre-contractual explanations for the credit agreement with Premium Credit Ltd carefully. You should also read the pre-contract credit information provided with the credit agreement. They explain the key features of the credit agreement to help you decide whether our product is suitable for your needs and financial situation.

1.

What the agreement is for
You can use the credit agreement to finance the payment for different Services, such as insurance policies, school fees, professional membership fees and club fees. However we must agree each use of the credit agreement in this way. We will tell you on request whether we are willing to finance any particular Service (or any Service arranged by a particular intermediary).

2.

How much does it cost?
Each time that you use the credit agreement to pay for a Service we will charge you a Transaction Fee and we may charge a Facility Fee. The Transaction Fee is a percentage of the amount that you borrow to pay for that Service. We will tell you the percentage that we will apply, and the amount of the Transaction Fee, for each Service that you finance. The percentage may change for each Service that you finance. The Facility Fee is a flat fee that is payable for each Transaction and is payable unless we tell you otherwise. If the Transaction is not for business purposes then the Facility Fee will be £0. If your Transaction is for business purposes then it will be £5 if the Transaction amount is below £1,000, £10 if the Transaction amount is between £1,000 and £5,000 and £25 if the Transaction Amount is above £5,000. We may, in some circumstances, vary the amount of the Facility Fee that you pay, but this change will not apply to any Transactions that you have already financed. The APR for the credit agreement is This APR is variable (see your credit agreement for the assumptions that we use in 0.0 calculating this figure).

3. 4.

How do I make payments?

You must make your payments monthly by Direct Debit. We will tell you the amount and number of repayments each time that you finance a Transaction. If you already have an outstanding Transaction at that time, your new repayments will repay that Transaction as well.

Features of the credit agreement that you should be aware of
• If you use your agreement to pay the premium for your insurance policy then as security for your obligations under the credit agreement you assign to us the benefit of any Insurance Policy that you finance using the credit agreement. This means that we can use any money you would normally receive under those insurance policies or from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to repay all or part of the outstanding balance under the credit agreement. We may, by varying the credit agreement, decide that you must also assign to us other Services that are financed by the credit agreement, although we shall not do this in respect of Transactions that you have already financed. We can, in certain circumstances, change the fees that you pay under the credit agreement and introduce new fees. You can only borrow up to your credit limit. We may change the limit at any time. We may pay a commission to any intermediary that you use, or the provider of any Service that you finance under the credit agreement. If you pay by a means other than Direct Debit we may charge you £2.50 except for payments made by debit card. If we change your monthly payment date where you (or your intermediary or service provider) request it we will charge you £5. If we have to write to you to remind you to return your signed credit agreement we will charge you £10. If you miss your payments this may cancel the Services (see below). Unless you tell us otherwise we may communicate to you electronically using either your email address or any online portal that we set up or operate. Reducing paper is one of our green goals, so we ask that you support our environmentally friendly approach by signing your credit agreement electronically. If you change insurance intermediary in respect of any particular Service or Services from one with whom we have an arrangement to recover money from to one where we do not have such an arrangement with then we may, upon giving you 14 days notice, require you repay the part of the balance that relates to that Service or Services. The credit agreement is subject to English Law.

Consequences of non-payment
Failing to make a payment when it is due or if your Direct Debit Instruction is cancelled breaches the terms of the credit agreement and can have a number of consequences, which may be severe: • We will charge you either £20 or £55 on each occasion that this happens (depending on the nature of the Transaction financed). • It may result in termination of the credit agreement. This in turn could result in any Service financed by the credit agreement which is unpaid being cancelled, and/or you may have to immediately pay the full Outstanding Balance. • We may take legal proceedings against you. You will be liable to pay all our reasonable costs, charges and expenses (together with legal costs) incurred by us enforcing our rights under the loan (whether these result from legal proceedings or not). • If we are successful in any legal proceedings we will obtain a County Court judgment from the court. This is often called a CCJ and is likely to make it more difficult for you to obtain credit in the future. In some circumstances we may obtain bankruptcy, administration and other orders following judgment, this could include a charging order over your home, which could ultimately result in you losing your home. • We may report your non-payment to credit reference agencies which will adversely affect your credit rating.

7.

Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from the credit agreement before the end of 14 days beginning with the latest of the following: (a) the day after the day on which the credit agreement is made; (b) the day after the day on which you receive our terms and conditions (and any other information which we are required to give you with those terms and conditions); (c) the day after the day on which we notify you of the Credit Limit (if we have told you what this is in the Agreement); or (d) the day after the day on which we inform you the credit agreement has been executed in identical terms to a copy of the credit agreement already provided to you. To exercise this right you must notify us by writing to us at Operations Centre, Premium Credit Limited, Premium Credit House, 60 East Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT17 1HB or by emailing customer.services@pcl.co.uk or by calling us on 0844 736 9836. If you withdraw from the credit agreement in the period set out above then if we have not already paid the credit to any Intermediary or Service Provider then we will not do so and you need make no payment to us. If we have paid an Intermediary or a Service Provider then: (a) we may require the Service Provider or intermediary to repay that sum to us, in which case you must then repay the Service Provider or intermediary; (b) if we don’t get the money back from the Service Provider or intermediary then you must pay us in full the amount of credit provided. You must do this without undue delay and no later than 30 days after telling us that you want to withdraw from the credit agreement. You can make this payment by credit or debit card over the phone by calling us on 0844 736 9836 or cheque made payable to Premium Credit Limited at Accounts Department, Premium Credit Limited, Premium Credit House, 60 East Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT17 1HB. If you make the payment inside 30 days no interest is payable; and (c) if we have paid for Services from more than one Service Provider then we may try to get money back from more than one Service Provider or intermediary. You must repay to them anything that we recover, and repay to us anything that we do not. You must pay us in the time and by the method set out above.

Key features of the credit product
This is a running account credit agreement.

Your initial credit limit will be £ if we do this.

. We may vary your credit limit from time to time and we will tell you

Once you and we have entered into the Agreement we will open an Account in your name with the credit limit described above. You can use this Account to pay for certain Services. When you do so we will debit the amount that you borrow from the Account, together with any charges, and credit it with any repayments that you make. The Agreement has no fixed or minimum duration. You must make your repayments monthly on the date they are due for payment. Each time that you use the Agreement to fund the provision of a Service (a “Transaction”) we will tell you in writing (or we will tell any intermediary in writing who will tell you) the amount and number of monthly repayments that you need to make to repay that Transaction (including the Transaction Fee, the Facility Fee and any other applicable fees and charges), together with the dates that those payments should be made. If there is a previous Transaction or a number of previous Transactions outstanding on the Account at the time of the new Transaction your new monthly repayments will also include the repayment of the outstanding Transaction or Transactions (including the Transaction Fee, the Facility Fee and any other applicable fees and charges). We have arrangements with some of the Service Providers, and with some of the intermediaries with whom you arrange Transactions with, to recover from them money that you may owe us. If you are repaying more than one Transaction and you pay less than the amount of the instalment owing then we will allocate your repayment first to the oldest of the Transactions where we do not have such arrangements, and then to the next oldest where we do not have such arrangements, and so on, and only after the allocation to such Transactions will we then allocate your repayment to the oldest of the Transactions where we do have such arrangements, and then to the next oldest, and so on, until all the instalment is allocated. In respect of your Initial Transaction, the total amount payable is £ payable of £ £

If you draw the full Credit Limit of £ 413.00 immediately the total amount payable will be £ 413.00 being the sum of the deposit (if any), Credit Limit, the Transaction Fee and the Facility Fee. This total amount is based on the same assumptions as we use for calculating the APR (see below). The calculation does not take account of any change in the Transaction Fee or Facility Fee or any charges applied to your Account during the life of your Agreement with us. If the Service that you finance using the Agreement is an insurance policy then you assign to us all your rights, title and interest in and to the insurance policy and any sums payable to you (for whatever reason) under or by virtue of that insurance policy. We may vary the Agreement so that we also take an assignment over other Services, although this will not apply to any Transaction that you have already taken out.

Security required. This is a description of the security to be provided by you in relation to the credit agreement.

This is calculated on the assumption that: (a) the Agreement remains valid for any period agreed and that the parties fulfil their obligations under the terms and by the dates specified in the Agreement; (b) the rate of the Transaction Fee and amount of the Facility Fee will remain at the same level as they are for your Initial Transaction and will be applicable for the duration of the Agreement, and that no new charges are introduced; (c) the Credit Limit is drawn down immediately and in full; and (d) the credit is provided for a period of one year starting from the date of the initial drawdown, the capital is repaid in equal 12 monthly payments commencing one month after the date of the initial drawdown, the final payment made by you clears the balance of capital, Transaction Fees, Facility Fees and any charges, and that the Transaction Fees, Facility Fees and any charges are applied in accordance with the drawn downs and repayments of capital and as provided for in the Agreement.

Costs of the credit (cont.) For each Transaction we will charge you: (a) A Transaction Fee equal to a percentage of the amount of that you borrow for each Transaction. We will determine the applicable percentage for each Transaction and let you know that percentage together with the amount of the Transaction Fee. The percentage that is applicable to your Initial Transaction is %, (subject to a minimum Transaction Fee of £

(b) A Facility Fee in accordance with the following table (unless we tell you that the Facility Fee does not apply):

Below £1,000 £1,000-£5,000 Above £5,000

Conditions under which the above charges can be changed.

The amount of the Facility Fee for your Initial Transaction is £ 0.00 . In addition we will charge you: - £5 if we change your monthly payment date where you (or your intermediary or service provider) request it; and - £10 if we have to write to you to remind you to return your signed credit agreement to us; We will also charge you all our reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by us enforcing our rights under the Agreement (including any legal costs arising from issuing or defending court proceedings). You must pay our reasonable fees and charges to cover the reasonable administration costs we incur in dealing with any queries or requests you make in connection with the Account (including any request by you to change a monthly payment date or for a copy of any document) unless we are not legally entitled to charge you such amounts. The percentage that we use to calculate the Transaction Fee, and the amount of the Transaction Fee, will differ for each Transaction. We will let you know the amount of the percentage and the amount of the Transaction Fee for each Transaction. We may change the amount of the Facility Fees (or any other fees or charges that are payable), and introduce new or different fees and charges at any time, to take account of the following or any changes in the following: (a) interest rates made by the Bank of England, our funding costs or other costs in administering your Account (including the cost of processing each Transaction through the Account), our systems or our products and services; and to ensure our business is run prudently; (b) external factors, such as interest rates, stock markets, labour costs, new technologies, other innovations or changes in general economic conditions; (c) the legal or regulatory obligations which affect us; (d) the amount of remuneration (including commission) we pay to the person who provides your Services or any intermediaries for introducing you to us. (e) any increase in the risks associated with providing credit to you. Any variation in the Facility Fee payable will not apply to a Transaction that has already taken place. We will charge you a Default Charge each time you miss a payment or a Direct Debit from your bank account is returned unpaid for any reason. For Recourse Transactions the Default Charge is . For Non

Costs in the case of late payments.

20.00

Consequences of missing payments.

Recourse Transactions the Default Charge is £55. No interest is payable on late payments. Missing Monthly Payments may mean you incur additional charges and could have severe consequences including, for example, cancellation of Services that you have paid for under this Agreement, legal proceedings being taken against you and making it more difficult for you to obtain credit in future. We may also take account of your payment history when assessing any future application for credit with us. We may report non-payment to credit reference agencies and this may adversely affect your credit rating (which most lenders consult when assessing any borrowing application). If you fail to repay what is owed we may obtain a judgment from the court. This is often called a CCJ (County Court Judgment) and is likely to make it more difficult for you to obtain further credit. In some circumstances we may obtain bankruptcy, administration and other orders following judgment- this could include a charging order over your home, which could ultimately result in you losing your home.

4. Other important legal aspects Right of withdrawal.

Early repayment. Consultation with a Credit Reference Agency Right to a draft credit agreement

You have the right to withdraw from the Agreement before the end of 14 days beginning with the latest of the following: (a) the day after the day on which this Agreement is made; (b) the day after the day on which you receive our terms and conditions (and any other information which we are required to give you with those terms and conditions). (c) the day after the day on which we notify you of the Credit Limit (if we have not already told you what this is in the Agreement); or (d) the day after the day on which we inform you the Agreement has been executed in identical terms to a copy of the agreement already provided to you. You have the right to repay your credit early at any time in part or in full. If we decide not to proceed with your application on the basis of information from a credit reference agency we will tell you this at the same time that we tell you that we are not proceeding, and we will provide you with details of that credit reference agency. You have the right, upon request, to a copy of the draft Agreement free of charge, unless we are unwilling at the time of your request to proceed to the conclusion of the Agreement with you.

What you can use this Agreement for This Agreement is a running account credit facility which you can use to finance the purchase of Services from Service Providers. Each time you want to use this Agreement to finance the purchase of a Service you (or any Service Provider or Intermediary) must first make a request to us and we will consider whether or not to allow you to use the Agreement to finance that purchase. If we agree to such a financing of a purchase this is referred to as a “Transaction” below. We will tell you on request whether you can use the facility to finance purchases from any particular Service Provider or Services that are arranged through any particular Intermediary. The Duration of the Agreement This Agreement has no fixed or minimum duration. What you can borrow You can borrow up to the amount of your Credit Limit. Your Credit Limit is £ 413.00 . We may change the Credit Limit but if we do so we will tell you. We will give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before we reduce the Credit Limit. We will not reduce the Credit Limit so that it is less than the Outstanding Balance on the date such reduction takes effect. We will not increase the Credit Limit if you tell us that you do not want us to. How we will provide the credit Once you and we have entered into this Agreement we will open an account (“the Account”) in your name with the credit limit that we have determined under clause A.3.1. Each time that there is a Transaction under this Agreement we will debit this Account with the amount that you borrow and any charges or other amounts that you incur, and credit it with any payments that you make. See clause C11.2 for how we will disburse the funds that you borrow. Repayments You must make your repayments monthly. Each time that there is a Transaction we will tell you in writing (or we will tell the Service Provider or Intermediary in writing who will tell you) the amount and number of Monthly Payments that you need to make to repay that Transaction (including the Transaction Fee, the Facility Fee and any other applicable fees and charges), together with the dates that those payments should be made. If there is a previous Transaction(s) outstanding on the Account at the time of the new Transaction your new Monthly Payments will also include the repayment of the outstanding Transaction(s) (including any Transaction Fees, Facility Fees and any other applicable fees and charges). If you are repaying more than one Transaction and you pay less than the amount of the payment owing then we will allocate the amount you do pay first to the oldest of the Non Recourse Transactions, and then to the next oldest, and so on, and then we will allocate the remainder to the oldest of the Recourse Transactions, and so on, until all the payment is allocated. Your Service Provider or Intermediary may require you to pay a deposit before any Transaction, which they will tell you about. For your Initial Transaction the deposit payable is £

0.00

In calculating the APR we have assumed that: (a) the Agreement remains valid for any period agreed and that the parties fulfil their obligations under the terms and by the dates specified in the Agreement; (b) the rate of the Transaction Fee and amount of the Facility Fee will remain at the same level as they are for your Initial Transaction and will be applicable for the duration of the Agreement, and that no new charges are introduced; (c) the Credit Limit is drawn down immediately and in full; and (d) the credit is provided for a period of one year starting from the date of the initial drawdown, the capital is repaid in equal 12 monthly payments commencing one month after the date of the initial drawdown, the final payment made by you clears the balance of capital, Transaction Fees, Facility Fees and any charges, and that the Transaction Fees, Facility Fees and any charges are applied in accordance with the drawn downs and repayments of capital and as provided for in this Agreement. On the basis of the same assumptions as set out in clause A.6.2 above the total amount that you would pay under this Agreement would be £ (including any deposit and any fees and charges).

OTHER TERMS
C.11. C.11.1. C.11.2. The Operation of the Account A request to us from a Service Provider or any Intermediary on your behalf for a Transaction shall be treated as a request made by you. If we agree to a Transaction then provided it would not cause the balance on your Account to exceed the Credit Limit we will pay the Transaction Amount to the Service Provider or Intermediary and debit your Account with the Transaction Amount and the Transaction Fee, any Facility Fee and any other fees or charges that may be introduced or apply to Section 1 of Schedule B. If a Transaction is requested that would result in you exceeding your Credit Limit we may increase your Credit Limit to accommodate that request, as long as you have not told us that you do not want your Credit Limit to be increased. We will tell you if we do this. Changing your mind about a Transaction Once we have notified you in writing of the amount of the Transaction Fee and the Transaction Percentage in accordance with clause B.1.4 you, or an Intermediary or Service Provider on your behalf, can tell us within 7 days of that notification that you do not want to go ahead with the Transaction. If you want to do this you should contact us using the contact details set out in clause C.4.3. This right does not apply to the Initial Transaction. If you notify us under clause C.12.1 then: (a) you shall not have to pay any Fees for that Transaction and we will remove any debits from your Account that relate to that Transaction; (b) Your Monthly Payments (if any) shall revert to as they were before the Transaction; (c) if you have made any payments in respect of the Transaction we shall refund the payment, or that part of the payment that relates to the Transaction, to you. Additional terms governing repayments You agree to pay us the Monthly Payments by the Monthly Payment Dates. You may pay more than the Monthly Payment. If you pay more than the Monthly Payment we will recalculate the amount and/or the number of your remaining Monthly Payments to take account of the overpayment. We will tell you the amount and number of the revised Monthly Payments once we have performed this calculation. Unless otherwise permitted by us, you must pay the Monthly Payments by Direct Debit. This should be from the bank account that you or your Service Provider or Intermediary tell us about. You must ensure that all Direct Debits are paid when first presented for payment and that a valid Direct Debit Instruction is in place at all times for the bank account you have asked us to use for collecting your Monthly Payments. We may, at our discretion, allow Direct Debit payments under this Agreement to be made from a third party’s bank account with that third party’s consent. If we do, you agree that: (a) you remain responsible under this Agreement for making sure that the payments are made; (b) the third party has agreed to making such payments; (c) we may provide the third party with a copy of this Agreement and associated documentation even though it contains your personal data; (d) the third party will provide any information that we require to verify the third party’s identity and any other information that we reasonably require; and (e) if any payment fails to be made we will write to you regarding the default, not the third party. If you have two or more agreements with us, we may decide to apply any payment or other sum received from you or paid on your behalf towards the discharge of any amounts due under those agreements in such proportion as we think fit. This does not affect your right under section 81 of the Act which allows you to choose how to apply your payments between your agreements in such proportions as you think fit. You should make all payments under this Agreement in full and without deduction or set-off. Ending this Agreement

under clause C.14.5 which may result in the Service being cancelled. C.14.5. If any event referred to in clauses C.14.1 to C.14.4 of this Agreement occurs or this Agreement is ended, cancelled or terminated for any other reason then: (a) we may immediately inform any Intermediary of the events that have occurred and of the ending, cancellation or termination of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that in respect of any Service where you have not repaid all sums owing to us for financing that Service (including any charges under Schedule B) the Intermediary may instruct the relevant Service Provider on your behalf to cancel the Service (or, if this occurs shortly after the start or renewal of the Service, to notify the Service Provider that the Service has not been taken up) and to collect any refund due under the Service and (if any money is owed to us under this Agreement) pay it to us; (b) we may immediately inform any Service Provider of termination of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that in respect of any Service where you have not repaid all sums owing to us for financing that Service (including any charges under Schedule B) the Service Provider may cancel the Service and (if any money is owed to us under this Agreement) pay any refund which may be due to us; (c) you acknowledge and agree that in respect of any Service where you have not repaid all sums owing to us for financing that Service (including any charges under Schedule B) we may instruct the Service Provider or any Intermediary on your behalf to cancel the Service and (if any money is owed to us under this Agreement) pay any refund which may be due to us.

If you do not want the Service to be cancelled you must find alternative means of paying for the Service.
C.14.6. Clause C.14.5 may not apply to any financing of a fee or charge payable to a regulatory body, however in those circumstances we may, if any event in clauses C.14.1 to C.14.4 of this Agreement occurs or this Agreement is ended, cancelled or terminated for any reason, notify the regulatory body of the termination or ending of this Agreement. We will tell you on request whether or not clause C.14.5 applies to the financing of a fee or charge payable to a regulatory body. C.14.7. If we agree to allow you to use this facility to finance new or different types of Service under clause C.1.2 then it may be that clause C.14.5 does not apply to some or all of these new or different types of Service. We shall tell you on request whether or not this is the case. C.14.8. If the first Direct Debit following the start or renewal of a Service is unpaid and/or the Service is cancelled or not taken up and we have not already paid any Intermediary or any Service Provider, we will not make such payment and will credit the Account (if we have already debited it) with the amount of the relevant advance. We will waive our entitlement to the Transaction Fee, Facility Fee or any other fee payable under Section 1 of Schedule B (including any new fees) in these circumstances. If you do not want the Service to be cancelled you must find another means of paying for the Service. If you do want to cancel the Service you will be responsible for paying any charges for the Service and putting in place any alternative Service and/or payment arrangements you need. C.14.9. You acknowledge that we may have arrangements with any Intermediary or any Service Provider under which the Intermediary or Service Provider must, on request, pay to us an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance or the part of the Outstanding Balance that relates to a particular Service. You agree with us, any Service Provider and any Intermediary that, where we receive payment from the Service Provider or any Intermediary, you shall be liable to pay the Service Provider or Intermediary (as the case may be) an amount equal to the monies received by us from it and the Service Provider or Intermediary shall be entitled to recover any such sums directly from you and may exercise its rights under clause C.14.5 (without prejudice to any other rights it may have). This clause shall survive termination of this Agreement (and may apply even if the Agreement has not ended). C.14.10. If you change the Intermediary in relation to a particular Service or Services, and you change from an Intermediary with whom we have arrangements as described in clause C.14.9 to an Intermediary with whom we do not have such arrangements, then we may by giving you 14 days notice in writing require you to repay the part of that Outstanding Balance that relates to that Service or Services. C.14.11. For the purposes of this clause the part of the Outstanding Balance that relates to the Service includes the Transaction Fee in relation to the financing of the purchase of that Service, the Facility Fee, any charges that we may have introduced that relate to the financing of the purchase of the Service, and any other charges payable under Schedule B that we reasonably think are attributable to the financing of the Service, for example default charges incurred because of a missed payment. C.14.12. For the purposes of clause C.14.11 if a charge reasonably appears to relate to more than one Service, we may attribute it in part between the Services or attribute it full to any one of those Services, as we see fit. C.14.13. We will tell you on request whether we have arrangements as set out in clause C.14.9 with any particular Intermediary or Service Provider. C.14.14. We reserve the right not to make payment to any Service Provider or any Intermediary if notice is given to terminate our agreement with the Service Provider or Intermediary or the Service Provider or Intermediary is in breach of that agreement with us. C.14.15. If we exercise our rights under clauses C.14.2, C.14.5 or C.14.9 we shall apply any sums that we receive against the Outstanding Balance. This shall not release you from your liability to pay any part of the Outstanding Balance that is still outstanding after we have received any such sums. C.15. General C.15.1. We are a member of the Finance and Leasing Association (“FLA”) and we follow the FLA Lending Code a copy of which is available at www.fla.org.uk. C.15.2.

Why Work and Learning

...Why Work and Learning in Canada Must Account for Canadian Realities and Management Perspectives Work and learning in Canada is different than work and learning in other countries. Immigration into Canada has produced a very diverse society which translates to a diverse workforce. Canadian realities and management perspectives play a major role in work and learning in Canada. Canada is an expensive country to live in, and it is important for Canadians to graduate from high school and attend college or university thereafter. Learning for Canadians does not stop at college or university graduation. Canadians continue to learn in the work environment. When someone starts a new job, there is a lot of learning that takes place in order for an employee to perform the duties associated with their job. Depending on the role, the learning can take years. New computer software programs are constantly being introduced or changed so employees are challenged to keep up with new programs which ultimately change the way employees perform their roles. In for profit organizations the focus is on profit so if fewer employees can do more with training, then employers are willing to invest in education because education is less expensive than hiring more employees. Incentives may be provided to employees to encourage increased productivity. Many people I’ve spoken with have mentioned how busy they are at work and it is not uncommon for them to be working longer hours to keep up. ...
